    It was just a letter with coupons attached...the letter basically started with something like 'it has come to our attention:eek: ' which could be seen through the window on the envelope (Boots envelope of course) however it said that recently there had been a problem when using AC card in the machine when trying to update details it had wiped PC club/ healthcare details so no longer getting benefits of said club...then gave vouchers to reactivate relevant club and an I'm sorry voucher with 200pts...I know at least one user on here that reported though that they had not used their card to attempt to update details....but everyone appeared to get this letter around the same couple of days last week.

    Wouldn't mind a few of those Amelia's Mum :D Thanks for the reply x

    These are homeopathic remedies. About 10 years ago my son started to suffer from puffy itchy eyes, runny nose etc. His eyes looked like blobs of jelly. I thought he had a cold. Same happened the following year. Took me 2 years to realise he had hayfever! Neither my DH or I suffer so I didn't recognise symptons. Tried over the counter remedies - useless. Tried Chinese remedy - poor kid had to drink some foul tasting brew - useless. In desperation went to library and got a book on homeopathy. Diagnosed him myself from the symptoms list etc. Got some nelsons Euphrasia. Brilliant. A lot of people say homeopathy can't work and that it's all in the mind. I don't think you can say that with a 7 year old who didn't have a clue what I was giving him.
    You're supposed to take the tablets in a particular way - every so many hours for the first few days etc. which we did but now he just takes a tablet when he feels the hayfever coming on and he hardly suffers at all.
    Can't rate it enough. Boots did their own homeopathic remedies and I've tried theirs and they work just as well.
    I've also noticed that his hayfever has lessened over the years - I don't know if its something they grow out of or if its the remedy making him immune. So anyone who suffers with hayfever - give it a try.

    Thanks blue-eyes, for the interesting story. I'll read up on it (or adopt the icheekymonkey way and try it on my oh first ;))

    Good that it's helped your little fella nevertheless isn't it? I think there's a lot to be said for homeopathy :) and as I've had hay fever before today (strange that was too, as it only began when I dug a certain bush up) I'll try to remember to ask the pharmacist about it.

    I think these have now been reduced further to 25p but i may be wrong! I know they have been reduced twice thats for sure.

    Thanks AB_KW :) You didn't happen to notice if the films for the Polaroid have been reduced did you? I forgot to ask when you mentioned it last time, but now seems like a good time to stock up. (for whoever gets the Polaroid ;))

    Didn't sleep until past 2 this morning >.< Hopefully some of the shops will actually be open this morning, police will still be there, so will see how it goes.
    But yes, the first 3 shots were into a child's bedroom, and stories are reporting a dmoestic argument happened before the guy started it all. He's due to be named today.


    As for Boots - I didn't get a letter, but got a voucher for a free pack of Always and some samples from Boots.
